Haven't lost ANY weight or inches!

I've been lifting heavy since February, started Stronglifts 5x5 about 3 weeks ago. Before doing Stronglifts I did cardio about 2-3x a week, but hate it and stopped once I started the 5x5. I stay between 1400-1600 calories most days even with exercise, since I wasn't losing any weight on 1200 calories anyway and decided to increase it.

I haven't lost a single pound. In fact, most days I'm up a couple of pounds. I've measured myself and taken pictures, and I am literally not at all different than the day I started.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and cook most meals at home. Should I just be incorporating more cardio or something? I'm really at a loss and not motivated to do anything at this rate.

I'm with ya on this one. I've started doing early AM workouts 5 days a week an been keeping within my 1200 calorie goal for the past month with no change. I'm frustrated, so I can only imagine how difficult it is for you since you've been doing it much longer.

For myself, I'm upping my water intake and going to tack on an extra day at the gym/courts and see how it goes.
